They can change the cost to buy a token up to reflect the new value or just plain remove the ability to buy Standards all together.
While I very much agree with you, as that makes no sense from a business perspective. If they upped it a little, like Next tier.
250
500
1000
2500
5000
And then Charged Tokens at 2500 with a chance at four stars. It would still have Iso as the most precious resource. But you’d drive more sales of people to actually pay money. Because that Daily deal would look so much more tempting than knowing how much you’re throwing away at the likely chance of getting a One Star. Mind you. I think their set rates are really good for them making money right now.
They’re just really terrible and frustrating for their players. But that would help fix it. This would help fix it a lot.
In total I’ve pulled 6 4* from standards. I think heroic and event tokens are complete crap it’s very rare I get anything but 2* from them.
Event tokens are better when there’s a vault
Do you happen to remember or track which 4*'s you got from standard tokens? The tracking spreadsheet linked on the forums (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ … =558559716) doesn’t have anything more recent than IW or XFW being pulled from Standards, so I’m wondering if 4*'s are still in standards or if they were phased out. I’m ~10,500 & counting on standard tokens without a 4* since I began tracking (and at least 2-3k of additional tokens without 4*'s before that). It’s hard to figure out if I’m unlucky, if the odds are so low that I’m not unlucky but still haven’t pulled any or if they were removed at some point. Who knows?
I bought a 10 pack for iso 8 when it first opened as i really wanted a 4* cyke well i think it was 3 maybe 4 3* no 4* but i did open a heoric 10 pack before that gave 2 4* but sadly the 2 main 4* im wanting has been ellusive red hulk is the other
Before the nerfed standard covers I managed to get a couple of 4* covers, after that I got none. I could complain about getting constant 2* covers with events but once in a while I get a surprise, less than an hour ago I unlocked War Machine after I used some remaining hero points with a 0.1% chance of it happening. There’s still a lot of transitioning 2* to 3* people in my alliance and everywhere else, I’m sure that they’re grateful for getting the rewards that some of us take for granted.
Yeah it is annoying at first when I throw money at the game and when I use that money I’m not getting something I want out of it most of the time. But the game offers no guarantee’s, it gives you the odd’s of something happening and that the things you want are a little harder to reach. Usually with events some of the progression gives you a free chance of getting a reward with the same odds.
It’s also annoying when something is advertised as having “better chances” with a purchasing option and only experiencing 2* covers 9\10 times. But when that 1\10 happens it’s just golden. When it happens twice in one week… this week it’s happened four times for me. When 2* covers drop for me I’m glad for the ISO they provide me.
Xfdp red pulled in November last year
Kp black in december
Star lord purple in Feb I think
And most recently IW yellow in April I think
First round civil war token 2* cap. What a shock.
Second, OBW. Shocker.
I pulled a 3* Thor and very nearly crapped my pants! One more and I’m at level 183 and I get a purple RHulk I really need.
You got a Shocker? He’s not even released yet!
Wrong shocker 
War machine on third token.
Cool, thanks for posting that. I had assumed there weren’t any in standard tokens anymore, so it’s nice to know it’s possible…even if the odds are astronomically small.
